I might have some degree of OCD, maybe that's why it bothers me when I close a line with ';' below a while{} for{} or other code block and resharper would automatically insert a line break above my line.
I DO NOT want an extra line.
I looked through the Editing option page under braces and new lines, but nothing seems to jump out.
sample:
if (true){
GC.Collect();
}
string s = "Any statement here, ending the line with ';' causes newline above";
Visual Studio (2019) has these formatting settings. I'm assuming you're using VS and resharper isn't doing the formatting.
Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > Code Style > Formatting > New Line
Find "Place open brace on new line for control blocks". There are a bunch others there as well.
In ReSharper options: Code Editing->C#->Formating Style->Blank Lines - set After statements with child blocks to 0.
I've been using Resharper 2016 with Visual Studio 2015, and I had code formatted like this:
list.Add(new SomeClass
{
Value = 1,
Name = "some name"
});
And life was beautiful...
But after updating to Visual Studio 2017, and to Resharper 2018, suddenly after hitting ctrl + E + C, and performing built-in R# option "Reformat code", I got this:
list.Add(
new SomeClass
{
Value = 1,
Name = "some name"
});
Which is terrible, because I usually want indentation only after {.
The only exception being single line statement like 1-liner if, where I sometimes skip the curly brace but still have indentation.
I've tried to switch all possible R# options to "simple wrap" but it didn't help. I've tried to set different values, where it made sense for me, but still no success.
Only after switching "revert to old formatting engine" it helped, but it also break other things, so that is not a viable solution for me.
If you select code and invoke with Alt+Enter "Format selection -> Configure", you'll see list of settings which affect formatting of this selection.
If you still have problems, you can reset settings in menu "ReSharper->Manage Options"
p.s. try uncheck "Line breacks and wrapping -> Arrangement of initializers -> prefer wrap after ( in invocation"
When typing a function like the following:
public bool doSomething()
With the cursor at the end of the line, if I insert a { character, Visual Studio types {, inserting an extra space before the brace. I don't want the extra space. This does not appear to be an option in Text Editor -> C# -> Formatting -> Spacing. If I Ctrl+z it removes the space, so it knows it's a separate operation. I've turned off all auto-format options and it's still auto-formatting. How do I make it stop trying to be smarter than me?
Edit: I've also just discovered that when I use the keyboard shortcut to uncomment a block of code, it adds that space back in. This is also a problem.
I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and it automatically adds a closing brace when I type an opening brace. However, it can be quite annoying at times e.g.
if (bFlag)
Console.Output("Hello World");
Now if I wanted to enclose Console.Output code in braces, and enter an opening brace after the if expression, VS automatically places a closing brace there as well e.g.
if (bFlag)
{}
Console.Output("Hello World");
This is annoying in that first I have to delete the closing brace and then manually type in closing brace at the end. Is there an automagical way of doing this? I don't necessarily want to disable the auto-close brace feature.
Edit: I'm hoping for a more intelligent solution that automatically adds parenthesis at the end of the expected code block (read: it automatically detects code block). In the example I gave earlier, when I type opening brace after 'if' clause, it should automatically put a closing brace before the 'else' clause etc. If I have to first select all the code and then press a hot-key combo (typically twice), I might as well just manually put the opening/closing braces.
Can I configure ReSharper to fix C# code when curly braces are not used to surround a single-line code block, like this:
if (blnSomeCondition)
DoSomething(); // complain
if (blnSomeOtherCondition)
{
DoSomethingElse(); // don't complain
}
Thanks
In the new version of ReSharper (2016.x) is has been moved to the Code Style.
UPD1: for ReSharper 2017.x
UPD2: for ReSharper 2018.x
UPD3: for ReSharper 2019.x
UPD4: for ReSharper 2020.x
Ryan is correct (note however that the his link refers to R# 2.0 help). The specific procedure is as follows:
Go to ReSharper > Options > Languages > C# > Formatting Style > Braces Layout
Set "Braces in "if-else" statement" to "Use braces for multiline"
After saving the changes, select a scope to reformat (could be a code selection, file, folder, project, solution - anything you want).
Choose ReSharper > Tools > Cleanup Code.
Profit.
Remember that Code Cleanup does numerous things and they're not only related to code formatting (see details at http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/webhelp/Code_Cleanup__Index.html), so use the feature wisely.
Gorohoroh's solution is close, but instead of selecting "Use braces for multiline" I had to select "Add braces" to force it to add the braces in the single-line scenario. And I had to set that in all six dropdowns under "Force Braces" to catch all the scenarios:
What I was really hoping for was to be able to set up ReSharper to do a yellow warning or red error when the rule was violated, but I haven't found a way to do that. Because you're right, Gorohoroh, Cleanup Code does a lot of stuff and I'd like to have the option to look at and fix the rule violations one at a time.
Thanks for your help!
For ReSharper 2016.2.2.
You should edit your profile for cleaning up. The proper item is called Add/Remove braces for single statements in "if-else", "for", "foreach", "while", "do-while", "using". This item can be found within the C# => Code styles item.
If the item is checked, braces will be added; if unchecked, braces will be removed.
Note: adding doesn't work now (don't know why - perhaps, too fresh version of ReSharper). However, if you will uncheck the mentioned item, the existent braces around single statements will not be removed.
UPD: The problem solved, see the first two comments under this post.
You can configure it as seen on the screenshot.

Just if it can help somebody else to save time, on one machine of my company, following Sergey advices was not enough despite the great quality of his post.
On concerned setup (VS2017, R# 2019, both up to date) these settings on R# side were already good, but I also had to modify it in Visual Studio options :
In Options window, go to Text editor -> C# -> Code style ->
Formatting -> General,
Check "Perform Additional code cleanup
during formatting" and "Add/remove braces for single-line control
statement"
Well it is moved again. The new place is under the Syntax Style on version ReSharper 2020.01.
Go to ReSharper > Options > Code Editing > C# > Syntax Style > Braces
Here is the screen shot from ReSharper 2020.01
